"We will not disappoint you, Lady Astaria,

We will definitely defeat Lord Nux."

Astaria smiled and nodded.

The three men then walked out of the room.

As they left, Astaria's smile turned into a wry one and then she sighed,

'Defeating him huh…

It's not possible…

At least not until you become an Emperor Stage Cultivator.'

Of course, she would never say that out loud since this would simply break the Shadow Unit's morale.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Suddenly, Astaria heard another knock.

"Enter."

She ordered.

A man with black hair, golden eyes, and a handsome face walked in with a playful smile on his face,

"Lady Astaria, I am here.

Did you miss me?"

Astaria glanced at the man with a deadpan look on her face,

"Why would I miss you?"

"Because you fell in love with me and couldn't get me out of your mind?"

Nux didn't leave the chance.

"As shameless as usual I see.

And no, I did not fall in love and my mind works perfectly fine, so I don't even think about you at all."

Astaria, however, was already used to him and didn't react at all.

"As cold as usual I see."

Nux nodded to himself.

"No worries, I just need to defeat you, once that happens, you would naturally give your heart to me."

He shrugged.

Astaria turned silent.
